Like the apple that fell on Newton,
oh beauty, you fell into my life,
and blended with me!
Like the gentle sunshine bathed in morning mist,
you, my girl, grew within me,
and filled my heart completely!
Hey girl, standing before the mirror,
why do you paint on all this makeup, my dear?
When a shower of rain
washes away your makeup,
you look just like an angel!
Everywhere and at all times,
with an intoxication that never fades away,
you showered me with love!
With your sparkling words
and your sweet breath,
you fill the air with honeyed music!
For my partner to take a step,
I will lay down an eight-lane highway!
If anyone ever raises a hand against you,
I will have them arrested!
For my partner to take a step,
I will lay down an eight-lane highway!
If anyone ever raises a hand against you,
I will have them arrested!
Hmm mmm mm
Hmm mm mm
Hmm mm mm mm mm mm
My love, though I long to talk with you,
I can find no words in my heart.
My friend, whenever I walk beside you,
the street seems to have no end.
Until someone touches your soul,
there is no real meaning in life.
Every single moment I spend with you,
this world feels truly real.
Whether we celebrate or face struggles,
we can live our lives together as one.
Whether we stumble or leap with joy,
I am within you, and you are within me.
An innocent love,
and a golden evening sky—
we can live peacefully between the two.
Even if the future turns against us tomorrow,
do not part from me, do not drift away.
Male: Spare a little glance... Chorus: Spend it now!
Male: A brand new life... Chorus: Let it in!
Male: With a smile that never fades,
Chorus: Come, take a dip in the river of love!
Male: For my partner to take a step,
Female: To take a step...
Male: I will lay down an eight-lane highway!
Female: Lay it down...
Male: If anyone ever raises a hand,
I will have them arrested!

I will have them arrested!
